I constantly work at maintaining balance. For me, my family comes first. If my family is taken care of, then everything else usually falls into place.

Forget aging. If you're six feet above ground, it's a good day.

It's okay to take time for yourself. We give so much of ourselves to others and we need to be fueled both physically and mentally. If we are in balance, it helps us in all our interactions.

In the real world, it is hard to be taken seriously as a woman. Use your brain and be smart about your choices. There's nothing wrong with being a good girl - it's actually very attractive and sexy.

My family and my friends are most important to me. These people are my foundation.

Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It's been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It's a great town.

I drink a lot of water and I never leave the house without putting on moisturizer and lip gloss.
